Maria has a $6 \times 5$ board with some shaded squares, as in the figure. She writes, in some order, the digits $1, 2, 3, 4$ and $5$ in the first row and then completes the board as follows: look at the number written in the shaded box and write the number that occupies the position indicated by the box shaded as the last number in the next row, and repeat the other numbers in the first four squares, following the same order as in the previous row.
For example, if you wrote $2, 3, 4, 1, 5$ in the first row, then since $4$ is in the shaded box, the number that occupies the fourth place $(1)$ is written in the last box of the second row and completes it with the remaining numbers in the order in which. They were. She remains: $2, 3, 4, 5, 1$.
Then, to complete the third row, as in the shaded box is $3$, the number located in the third place $(4)$ writes it in the last box and gets $2, 3, 5, 1, 4$. Following in the same way, he gets the board of the figure.
Show a way to locate the numbers in the first row to get the numbers $2, 4, 5, 1, 3$ in the last row.

At the start of the game there are $ r$ red and $ g$ green pieces/stones on the table. Hojoo and Kestutis make moves in turn. Hojoo starts. The person due to make a move, chooses a colour and removes $ k$ pieces of this colour. The number $ k$ has to be a divisor of the current number of stones of the other colour. The person removing the last piece wins. Who can force the victory?

There is a black token in the lower-left corner of a board $m \times n$ ($m, n \ge 3$), and there are white tokens in the lower-right and upper-left corners of this board. Petryk and Vasyl are playing a game, with Petryk playing with a black token and Vasyl with white tokens. Petryk moves first.
In his move, a player can perform the following operation at most two times: choose any his token and move it to any adjacent by side cell, with one restriction: you can't move a token to a cell where at some point was one of the opponents' tokens.
Vasyl wins if at some point of the game white tokens are in the same cell. For which values of $m, n$ can Petryk prevent him from winning?

$ 30$ students participated in the mathematical Olympiad. Each of them was given $ 8$ problems to solve. Jury estimated their work with the following rule:
1) Each problem was worth $ k$ points, if it wasn't solved by exactly $ k$ students;
2) Each student received the maximum possible points in each problem or got $ 0$ in it;
Lasha got the least number of points. What's the maximal number of points he could have?
Remark: 1) means that if the problem was solved by exactly $ k$ students, than each of them got $ 30 \minus{} k$ points in it.

Let also $m$ be a positive integer with $m<n$ and suppose that $T_n$ and $T_m$ can be tiled with "trapezoids".
Prove that, if from $T_n$ we remove a $T_m$ with the same orientation, then the rest can be tiled with "trapezoids".
